Why should I take an iron supplement?
Low iron is one of the most common mineral deficiencies affecting women in their lifetime.
If an iron deficiency is left untreated, it can lead to anemia.
Symptoms of iron deficiency are similar to those of anemia and can be difficult to recognise: (2)
- Brain drain and poor concentration
- Decreased endurance and poor tolerance to exercise
- Dry, brittle hair and nails
Most at risk of iron deficiency:
- Pregnant women
- Menstruating women
- Vegetarians
- Teenagers
- The elderly
Are all iron supplements the same?
Definitely not. Traditional iron supplements like ferrous sulphate have low rates of absorption so you need to take high doses to restore your iron levels to normal.
Spatone delivers a much more absorbable form of iron, so you can take lower, safer starting dose yet still effectively prevent iron insufficiency. (1,3,4)
Why doesn’t Spatone cause constipation like other iron supplements?
The answer is simple.
Because Spatone is easily absorbed into the body, you only need to take small amounts to get your recommended daily intake of iron.
Spatone leaves very little unabsorbed iron in the bowel for excretion and therefore minimizes common side effects like constipation, stomach irritation and nausea. Spatone has been clinically proven to be effective without these harmful side effects.
